We just can’t get enough of good Italian pasta dishes. And this Fresh Fettuccine with Creamy Sausage Sauce is something to behold. The flavors are so comforting and the fresh pasta just puts it over the top. I like mixing fresh egg pasta with spinach pasta, but you can go with one, or both. So amazingly satisfying!
